| My next project is going well post-crash. I did have my main plot water feature done in a backup. The first three holes have gone nicely. The hundereds of hours learning the ropes on my first course is really paying of now. Here's some peeks... |

Looks good, and that par 3 looks nice on the island all perched up like that, and can't wait to give it a go.
Might take a break for designing tomorrow & play some courses I haven't tried yet. Since I just started playing TW not to long ago I have so many course still to play, but that's a good think, I suppose..........
Been neglecting my playing time since I started CA........ :(

Looking great, that water complex in the 1st pic must have been very tricky.

Note on the large-scale water feature: As shape size increases, the number of points required for smooth shape countours apparently increases almost geometrically. After intitially drawing the water with points about 50-75 feet apart, I found that CA no longer created smooth splines;; it drew the shape in log straight segments.
I have had to go back and detail sections close to the playing area. By this I mean duplicating the original points over and over, sometimes increasing the points by a factor of eight or ten! Ill see if I can do some pics later to illustrate. |

Please do make pictures showing what your talking about, and these kind of threads really help me with understanding this stuff. Plus, I like looking at the designers work, and getting the inside stories with how it's done or what's going on is cool to see.
I tried a lake for the first time the other day, and I got straight like lines from point to point making it look like straight edges instead of a smooth circle. Thought about what it would take to build a creek while making that lake, and it must be hard to keep the water level. I'm guessing you gotta make you creek when things are flat or you 'll never get it all the way flat it you wait until you change elevation. Hmmmm, I've seen creeks going through uneven lands, and I guess you would have to go down the side of the creek setting points by eye through the camera view window to get it looking right. The flatting tool would go to deep in the land I would think, but would maybe work with smaller slopes from end to end.
There is something to knowing how may points to put on the lines you draw or where to put them, but the I hoping the more I mess around with it the better I understand the art of point clicking. Plus, for some reason I worry if put a bunch of points on the lines I draw this will hurt performance, but I have no clue if this is correct thinking. Trying to do it the same spacing that are in Homeboy's tutorials with smaller shapes, but not sure it's the same for much bigger shapes. Plus, I try to make sure I have two points not on the turn itself, but use those two point/clicks on each side of the turn & not the center of the turn itself. Many tricks of the trade with designing courses, but I have realized it's going to take trail & error for me to understand what works.

Ok, this should be pretty self explanitory I hope. In order to draw the massive shape, I had to limit the initial point frequency. Only by zooming in could I then duplicate points enough to get smooth outlines in view of playing areas. |

Yep, that's what happens when you have very large shapes. Sometimes it is better to split a very large shape into smaller parts to make them a little easier to handle. I often do that with ponds and hide the breaks under bridges and then fill in with some plants.
Also, rather than duplicating each control point, you can highlight all but one of the points in the shape and hit CTRL D to duplicate all of the selected control points. |

Nice one, I will have to go try that Ctrl D trick indeed.
Maybe that is what is happening when I was practicing making my lake wall today, but I will start a thread about all that instead of hijacking your course thread Nuttywoddy. Think I will start one thread & put all my questions there instead of having many all over the place. I though I could maybe do this stuff without coming here & bothering everyone with a million questions, but this stuff can be overwhelming at times.
I love it so much, but hate it just has much sometimes.........LOL
Thanks for the pictures explaining things

Does the actual total point have to do with how many points you put in the shapes you draw or is the points in the grids with elevations. I'm kinda lost with what is being totaled up with the point count totals for a course. If there is something I could read somewhere on this subject to keep everyone from typing a lot, I can do that. Guess it would be called point count buffer or something like that. I'll try to google this, and see what comes up tomorrow because I gotta get up early to take my Wife to the doctor.
Thanks
